why would the establishment want to back Rubio over any of the others?

Posted by slipping jimmy (aka chris) Jan 20 '16, 15:07

he's allegedly been the establishment's smart choice for about 3 or 4 months now and hasn't done better than 10-15%. if the anti-Trump voted wanted to coalesce around him as the most viable option, they've had more than ample opportunity to do it. which tells me they've seen and heard him and (correctly) surmised that he's an empty suit.

but even if all of the other three dropped out tomorrow, that still wouldn't give him enough on his own to beat Trump or Cruz

Responses:

He is the next up after Trump and Cruz. Still a mess, but way better than those two. -- nm - GregW Jan 20, 15:13 2
- Rubio's not the answer either. It really is the Republican Clown Car this year. -- nm - David Jan 20, 15:39
- only marginally more than the other three. and that's assuming that all of the other three's votes would shift 100% to Rubio if they dropped out today -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:17
